So where were you to welcome in the New Year? Capital cities currently competing as the best to be in when the clock strikes 12 are:
New York: Times Square is the place to be (along with another 1 million people) to watch the giant illuminated ball descend to welcome in the start of 2009.
London: In recent years a great party atmosphere has developed along the Thames culminating in an awesome fireworks display off the London Eye. Plus we all get to use the Tube for free once a year!
Sydney: Still the most spectacular display in the world and as one of the first cities in the world to welcome in the New Year it never disappoints. Alongside the fireworks there are always a day of parades and parties to kick the new year off in style.
Rio de Janeiro: Join approximately 2.5 million fellow revellers all dressed in white to watch the fireworks on the Copacabana beach and participate in the numerous parties, events and shows along the beachfront.
Edinburgh: Join the 100,00+ partygoers who always brave the bitter cold and gather for a concert and to sing Auld Lang Syne. Plus watch a great fireworks display set against the beautiful backdrop of Edinburgh Castle - all washed down with a drink or two (the Scots sure know how to drink!)
